Today is the beginning of Extreme Sailing Series 2013 but Thursday and Friday are the most exciting days for families. It’s being held at The Wave, Muscat with the public village open from 11am-6pm and the racing from 2 to 5pm.
This should be quite the event with something for everyone in the family. Thanks to Maria from Oman Sail for the invite and info and another big thanks to Stacey from RedBull for the invite and VIP pass! I’m a little nervous as I’m supposed to be racing with one of the teams on Thursday! BTW, if you send an SMS to 90455, you can win a chance to sail with one of the Omani teams while they race! (The draw will occur sometime today – March 6th.)
Here’s a short vid titled “Support your Extreme Champions” from Oman Sail’s youtube channel about this event:
